Next Project! : Art of Frame Hanging!

Happy Monday mommies!

Lets learn something today.

There is actually an art called the art of frame hanging! Yes. The visual art that sets your frames looking pleasant and nice to look at.

These were taken from pages in my FB feed. May it benefit me and you. Lets do some wall decorating this coming weekend! :)

The followings are for rectangles and squares.

Frames in line (not same size)

Happy decorating! :)

Definitely inspiring from i heart!!

There are a few of our old cabinets that would definitely want to transform into this!!

So these would be my home project!

Cerita Lampu, Rumah and New Financial Year 2013

Weekend catch :)

Got this for RM19 (without the bulb)..after 50% less :) But with a cheeky orange colour.Total bargain!~
In Avalon Puchong (near to tesco).

Now my stairs have new lights :)

Aiming for several other lamps/lights..tp tangguh dulu.hingga kedalaman poket mengizinkan.

***

Rumah lama pun dh berjaya settle dibasuh and kosong sepenuhnya (yerr..kami penyewa yg baik and responsible,siap basuh sblm serah kunci.ok?hehe). Nothing is left behind..well supposedly pun kan?bila tgk balik umah tuh..byk plak kenangan silam.our house when we started to live as husband and wife.have our first born.bought together several furniture together.tempat bergaduh..merajuk sume ado...ai sentimental la plak..hehehe.

But a rented house is never the same with the one we bought ourself! :)
Alhamdulillah..we did it.
Ok now our old house is open for rental - RM500 18x55,double storey 4R 3B.Iklan kejap :)

Happy Monday peeps!~
OK.end of entry baru nak greet org :P


So it's April already.April is the beginning of the new financial year 2012/2013.
So gotta start the engine right?For pre-engine warming-up for the new year to come.
Got to find the passion back.Passion-less is not good. All work done.But there's NO satisfaction.
Most probably will be staying in Proton for another 2-3yrs..others, rmai yg already move ahead.
Change company.Change dept. Me? I'll be here..designing cooling system for the nation.still.








ps- quite sad as one of closest and most reliable colleague from my current vendors just quit.
gotta miss him and it's very difficult to get someone from the vendor side as hardworking and technically competent as him.good for him to move on.as now as a subject matter expert he does'nt get paid as much as he deserve to be. 

Mr Lee Sue Kiat - Hope everything will be well for you in your new workplace :)







Love,

Doa Selamat and Solat Hajat New Home

Monday blues.
Still tired from all the work done on Saturday.
Yet, yesterday was already full-day sleeping day. Boleh tidor most of the day?
Teruk betul!~


Alhamdulillah-all plans worked out well.
Doa selamat and solat hajat for new home already settled after Isya' last Saturday-24th March 2012 :)
8.30pm.



Thank you for all family, close friends and neighbours for coming!~
Thank you for gathering together praying for the safety of us in this new home of ours.
Thank you for the food brought as well :) 
Thank you Allah for making all our plans come true :)

Thank you mom for the cakes and also dearest neighbour next door for the kuih kaswi :)
Quite a miracle though.

Small budget, small ceremony, small house with big hearts in it :)








Letih juga la when you cooked dinner for 80 ppl all by yourself.
But I managed it!! Yeah!!~*pastu pengsan*

7..5mths pregnant really made it quite tough for me to cook for more.


Menu for the day :: Nasi putih, Ayam gulai, Sambal Udang, Kobis goreng, Sambal cuka, Gelama masin grg and ulaman.
And also, oranges, watermelon and chocolate pudding :)






**regret for not taking any pics for the event due to extreme fatigue and also malu kat tok imam nak amek gambar :'(

**For all friends out there insyallah we'll have another makan2 session for Hari Raya, Iman's belated bithday and new baby welcoming (cukur jambul).Insyallah if everything goes on well. Do pray everything to go on well :)

Officially dah pindah! ~

Tuesday.
Back to work after loooong break :)
With a back ache (--")

Yeay! We finally moved-in last weekend and settled up 80% of the cleaning :)
A huge achievement! Yeah!!


Only tons of wardrobe re-organizing to-do (lipat and susun balik kain baju)..others, alhamdulillah dh settle.
Curtains hung, kitchen arranged (baru sedar byk tul pinggan mangkuk yg sebenarnya xguna pun).
Boxes already in place for storage (khazanah lama..and also hadiah kawen yg xguna lagi..sentimental values tu..)
Dah sort out 'things' and 'trash' pun still byk lagi yg category 'things' (--")
Koleksi majalah PaMa etc, syg plak nk jual kat cina beli paper lama..aduh!~






Thank you to my adek2 for all the help.
And also to mak for baby sitting Iman for two days :)



Alhamdulillah.All efforts are already paid off :)
Just happy to have accomplished our mission.
Kita pindah masuk dulu.Then we figure out all the interior exterior designing plans.
Buat apa yg mampu dulu.Cause plans mmg panjang listnya.heheh
Poket je xberapa nak dlm..huhu~



Just to keep the payment record clean after this :)

Pinky Kitchen Area :)

Selamat hari Jumaat peeps.
How's your day so far?


Presenting :: Our self-painted pink kitchen.
Appear striking in this pic.
Actually its a quite softer tone.Macam sirap bandung terkurang susu sket kalernya.

Too pink too handle?
Xpe..yg penting I like! :)

Pink!~ Identity pemasang rel dirahsiakan sb side view nmpak perut royroy~hehehe

This was yesterday. Two days on AL for scrubbings and rel installing.But still soooooo much to do.
And right!We're moving in this weekend!!!~~






Love,

Zahra


ps- I think I'm having braxton Hicks already.Oh boy!~

CSM- Hardware City :: A Good Bargain for DIYers

Hi ladies :)

This is not an advertisement.
Just to share some good bargain I've bumped into.
Best hardware deals esp paint I've found so far . . .

The shop name is CSM hardware city own by this guy in the picture under.

Yeah, I might appear womanly ( acheh perasan!) and sometimes motherly but I DIY most of the tings and tangs around the house. I drill my own curtain stills and hanging up picture frames were never a problem.I even managed to knock-up my own small 'dapur masak' table long before I got married to Mr Zulhalimey..haha..how about that? *bangga*bangga* Well, I'm an automotive engineer so that should tell a lot even kan??(pekerjaan tak melambangkan kewanitaan langsung..aduhai.mujur mak mertua xpengsan ms 1st time dpt tahu dulu) hehehehe..

But now with a man inside the house, I need to appear needy and buat2 konon tak pandai to use the hammer.*berlakon I insan yg lemah* Sebenarnya malas nak bertukang2 sumer..gegar2 lemak kat tgn sumer. What's the use of all that manly muscles around the house kan? Well, sebenarnya :: to share a secret about man :: lelaki kalau tau you capable of doing something..will never try to help you..haha..

Ok back to the main point..


Location ? Seksyen 27 Shah Alam. Map is included down under. I think they have another branch in Sri Muda..but never went to that one.

The good thing is that they have a wide range of DIY items :: brushes, poles, paints, cement fillers...including batery drivers, drills, lawn mowers, tile cutter and so on in a reasonably low price. And the shop is very easy to spot located just in shop rows down the main street of seksyen 27 (Alam Megah) Shah Alam.



For instance ICI Dulux Weathershield in exotic colors here in CSM cost me around RM 122. Where all other places I've surveyed will cost me not lower than RM145 for 5Ls.
Seamaster Weathersheen also cost me for only RM90 for 5L and Nippon Matex Gold  for interior with excellent colors cost me only RM17 per liter. A good enough bargain for me :)





Maybe y'all out there have found better bargain around shah alam. Just feel free to share.

Hope this helps much for the DIYers all out there :)



Love,

Zahra

Kisah rumah dan mengandung

Salam ladies~

Selamat hari Isnin :)
Still in monday blues mood?mmm...

Alhamdulillah, entering week 29 this week :)

Reading tru a fav blogger entry of mine:: Pn Hannah this morning,  reminded me how cruel Malaysian esp Malay men could be. The story was when I was waiting for my turn in CIMB last week for my housing loan issues.The bank was full. All seats were already taken (--")

I am now obviously pregnant and that day it happened that i was alone. And needed to bring Iman together.
Waiting, 7 mths pregnant, carrying a 1++ yr old hectic lil boy, nobody offered me a seat where most of the seaters were men- young and old. Mostly Malay.
Tunggu lah daku berdiri..kejap2 putting my boy on the floor holding his hands so that mommy could stretch her back straight kejap..10kg tau Iman bukan ringan (--")

Semua nya set2 jantan xguna.
Sama mcm most men in Proton even.remember one entry long time ago?

Ada juga indian. But he was really old.Macam 60++.Warga tua..so excusable.
Aish..nak buat cmne...letih den raso (--")
Bila la rakyat Malaysia ni nak berubah jd lebih prihatin, courteous and bertimbang rasa? Kalau lelaki gagah perkasa tu rsnya klu berdiri 30mins pun, xsama dgn rs if you're 7mths pregnant, dokong anak kecil and berdiri menunggu 2mins :'(


I think simple lessons like this must start at home
So we'll have this in our next parenting mission :: to train my boys how to be courteous and gentlemen yg bertimbang rasa!!Yeah..I'll do that!Just now to figure out hard how.. (>_<)

Mmmm..malas nak stress2 pagi2 ni..letak gambar my lil hero Iman satu buat penawar hati..

Muka minum ice blended mesti yakin.w/pn gelas lebih besar dr muka tuan :P

Just to update :: Our previously pink homey is already grey!!Yeay!!~
My kitchen is exotic bloom pink! Yeay!!~
Now really feeling the place is much more mended our way to be called a place of our own.
I like!!~

Well, weekend Project aritu is to paint the house exterior and interior (dapur aje :) ), and also full wash the house.Alhamdulillah everything turned out as planned. Though we kinda run short of the exterior paint..need another 5L.

**Loteh den..sakit segala sendi ngecat,membasuh segala..



Thank you hubby and adik2 for all the effort and work.
Hopefully the hearty luncheon I've prepared is adequate for all the tears and sweat shed :)
Family is really cheap labor with love as a bonus.hehehe :P

Cat cat and mengecat :)

A clearer view :: a new color :)

Laman tepi before keje menebang.

After segala mak nenek tumbuhan ditebas :)

Still, a lil more to go! :)
Excited to move in mode already ON.
A lil more for the painting work,plumbing work and garden clearing work to go!!~ Chaiyok3!!


We'll be moving in soon!!~~
Yeah!









Till then,

Love,

Zahra

Semangat sungguh padahal on Monday lenguh segala sendi..












Adehh..

Fail to plan is planning to fail~

Salam peeps!!
Selamat hari jumaat again!~

Just to note a small accomplishment for myself. February 2012 marks the month with the most entries I've ever posted!! 28post is a wow for meself..haha.poyo je lebih.a small pat on the back for that.ok lah tu.at least, when the year end comes, I could read what happenned throughout the year, betul x?

Apa maknanya?

Maknanya, zahra xbusy bulan february hahahaha~
Sb tggu kereta dh finalize design then nak launch launch-xlaunch2 lagi.
Then new project macam hidup segan mati xmau..
Macam mana tuh?~

Mujur juga la sb bleh la kita guna masa utk new homey project. and project goyang2 kaki in the office sambil layan baby Z dlm perut tendang brapa kali.heheheheh~
And planning project birthday Iman yg tergendala since 21.02.2012 :)
 
wOOHooo0O!great pleasure bila tak busy :) :) ~








So back with Iman's Birthday preps..i think we should cost down on most plans :'(
Due to restrictions in pocket depth (ade ke istilah ni?), we shall eliminate most plans (--")..as we have triple BIG things happening in the same time.
Entering a new house is money babeh. A new baby is also money (thank you Allah -  hospital Putrajaya is nearby, cheap, and cosy! why do you want to pay more?).
Leaving us quite unbalanced in the end.
Uhuu..sobssobsss (T_T) ~

Love, I owe u a birthday partay!~

Just hoping for some rezeki terpijak to assist us..ade ke yg nak bagi?LHDN xmau bagi refund cepat2 ke?
M2u cepat2 sket yerr.. :) Rezeki birthday party Iman tu *wink*
BTW-lega dh DONE with E-filling.Better late than never-pastu-lupa-pastu bila org lain dpt duit..ko nganga..heheheheh~





Well better if we plan, and if the plan doesn't work out as it should we shift to plan no.2 kan?
Rather than we do not plan at all.ahaaaa~

ok.ok.mommy will try.
soon!~


Love,

Mommy
